Shock resistance are usually find at the back of a sports watch. This simply means that these watches are able to withstand mechanical shock. The shock resistant watches are designed in such a way that the delicate pivots that are responsible for holding the balancing wheel in place are carefully mounted on a suspension spring system, which will buffer the watches from impact if they are dropped.
